BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Cyclic GMP (cGMP) is an important intracellular messenger which triggers a multitude of different effects via the modulation of cGMP-dependent protein kinases, phosphodiesterases and ion channels. Examples are the relaxation of smooth muscles, the inhibition of thrombocyte activation and the inhibition of the proliferation of smooth-muscle cells and of leukocyte adhesion. cGMP is produced by particulate and soluble guanylate cyclases as a response to a number of extracellular and intracellular stimuli. In the case of the particulate guanylate cyclases, stimulation is essentially effected by peptidic messengers, such as the atrial natriuretic peptide or the cerebral natriuretic peptide. The soluble guanylate cyclases (“sGC”), which are cytosolic heterodimeric heme proteins, in contrast, are essentially regulated by a family of low-molecular-weight factors which are formed enzymatically. The most important stimulant is nitrogen monoxide (“NO”) or a closely related species. The function of other factors such as carbon monoxide or the hydroxyl radical is still largely unclear. The binding of NO to the heme with formation of a penta-coordinate heme-nitrosyl complex is proposed as the mechanism of the activation by NO. The associated release of the histidine which is bound in the basal state to the iron converts the enzyme into the active conformation.

Active soluble guanylate cyclases are each composed of an α and a β subunit. Several subunit subtypes have been described which differ from one another with respect to sequence, tissue-specific distribution and expression in different development stages. The subtypes α₁ and β₁ are mainly expressed in brain and lung, while β₂ is found in particular in liver and kidney. The subtype α₂ was shown to be present in human fetal brain. The subunits referred to as α₃ and β₃ were isolated from human brain and are homologous to α₁ and β₁. More recent works indicate an α_(2i) subunit which contains an insert in the catalytic domain. All subunits show great homologies in the region of the catalytic domain. The enzymes presumably contain one heme per heterodimer, which is bound via β₁-Cys-78 and/or β₁-His-105 and is part of the regulatory center.

Under pathologic conditions, the formation of guanylate-cyclase-activating factors can be reduced, or their degradation may be promoted owing to the increased occurrence of free radicals. The resulting reduced activation of the sGC leads, via a weakening of the respective cGMP-mediated cellular response, for example to an increase of the blood pressure, to platelet activation or to increased cell proliferation and cell adhesion. As a consequence, formation of endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis, hypertension, stable or unstable angina pectoris, thrombosis, myocardial infarction, strokes or erectile dysfunction results. Pharmacological stimulation of sGC offers a possibility to normalize cGMP production and therefore may make possible the treatment and/or prevention of such disorders.

For the pharmacological stimulation of the sGC, use has been made of compounds whose activity is based on an intermediate NO release, for example organic nitrates. The drawback of this treatment is the development of tolerance and a reduction of activity, and the higher dosage which is required because of this.

Various sGC stimulators which do not act via NO release were described by Vesely in a series of publications. However, the compounds, most of which are hormones, plant hormones, vitamins or natural compounds such as, for example, lizard poisons, predominantly only have weak effects on the cGMP formation in cell lysates. D. L. Vesely, Eur. J. Clin. Invest., vol. 15, 1985, p. 258; D. L. Vesely, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm., vol. 88, 1979, p. 1244. A stimulation of heme-free guanylate cyclase by protoporphyrin IX was demonstrated by Ignarro et al., Adv. Pharmacol., vol. 26, 1994, p. 35. Pettibone et al., Eur. J. Pharmacol., vol. 116, 1985 p. 307, described an antihypertensive action of diphenyliodonium hexafluorophosphate and attributed this to a stimulation of sGC. According to Yu et al., Brit. J. Pharmacol, vol. 114, 1995, p. 1587, isoliquiritigenin, which has a relaxing action on isolated rat aortas, also activates sGC. Ko et al., Blood vol. 84, 1994, p. 4226, Yu et al., Biochem. J. vol. 306, 1995, p. 787, and Wu et al., Brit. J. Pharmacol. vol. 116, 1995, p. 1973, demonstrated a sGC-stimulating activity of 1-benzyl-3-(5-hydroxymethyl-2-furyl)indazole and demonstrated an antiproliferative and thrombocyte-inhibiting action. Pyrazoles and fused pyrazoles which exhibit a sGC-stimulating activity are described in European Patent No. 908,456 and German Patent Application No. 19,744,027.

It has now been found that the compounds of the present invention effect a strong activation of soluble guanylate cyclase and are therefore may be suitable for the therapy and prophylaxis of disorders which are associated with a low cGMP level.

The present invention includes the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds defined herein, including the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of all structural formulas, embodiments and classes defined herein. Reference to the compounds of structural Formula (I) includes the compounds of other generic structural Formulas and embodiments that fall within the scope of Formula (I), including but not limited to the compounds of Formulas (IA) or (IB).

“Alkyl”, as well as other groups having the prefix “alk”, such as alkoxy, and the like, means carbon chains which may be linear or branched, or combinations thereof, containing the indicated number of carbon atoms. If no number is specified, 1-6 carbon atoms are intended for linear and 3-7 carbon atoms for branched alkyl groups. Examples of alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, sec- and tert-butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl and the like.

“Alkoxy” and “alkyl-O—” are used interchangeably and refer to an alkyl group linked to oxygen.

“Alkyl-NH—” refers to an alkyl group linked to an NH group. Examples of alkyl-NH-include methyl-amino or methyl-NH— and ethyl-amino or ethyl-NH—.

“Haloalkoxy” and “haloalkyl-O” are used interchangeably and refer to halo substituted alkyl groups or “haloalkyl” linked through the oxygen atom. Haloalkoxy include mono-substituted as well as multiple halo substituted alkoxy groups, up to perhalo substituted alkoxy. For example, trifluoromethoxy is included.

“Cycloalkyl” means a saturated cyclic hydrocarbon radical having the number of carbon atoms designated if no number of atoms is specified, 3-12 carbon atoms are intended, forming 1-3 carbocyclic rings that are fused. “Cycloalkyl” also includes monocyclic rings fused to an aryl group in which the point of attachment is on the non-aromatic portion. Examples of cycloalkyl include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, tetrahydronaphthyl, adamantyl, decahydronaphthyl, indanyl and the like.

“Cycloalkoxy” and “cycloalkyl-O” are used interchangeably and refer to a cycloalkyl group, as defined above, linked to oxygen.

“Heterocyclyl” “heterocycle” or “heterocyclic” refers to nonaromatic monocyclic ring structures in which one or more atoms in the ring, the heteroatom(s), is an element other than carbon. Such nonaromatic cyclic ring structures can be saturated or unsaturated. Heteroatoms are typically O, S or N atoms. Examples of heterocyclyl groups include: piperidine, piperazinyl, morpholinyl, pyrrolidinyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, azetidinyl, oxiranyl, or aziridinyl, and the like.

“Heteroaryl” refers to an aromatic monocyclic and bicyclic ring structures in which one or more atoms in the ring, the heteroatom(s), is an element other than carbon.

“Halogen” (or “halo”) unless otherwise indicated, includes fluorine (fluoro), chlorine (chloro), bromine (bromo) and iodine (iodo). In one embodiment, halo is fluoro (—F) or chloro (—Cl).

When any variable (e.g., R¹, R², etc.) occurs more than one time in any constituent or in Formula (I) or other generic formulas herein, its definition on each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds. In choosing compounds of the present invention, one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the various substituents, i.e., R¹, R², etc., are to be chosen in conformity with well-known principles of chemical structure connectivity and stability. Unless expressly stated to the contrary, substitution by a named substituent is permitted on any atom in a ring (e.g., aryl, a heteroaryl ring, or a saturated heterocyclic ring) provided such ring substitution is chemically allowed and results in a stable compound. A “stable” compound is a compound which can be prepared and isolated and whose structure and properties remain or can be caused to remain essentially unchanged for a period of time sufficient to allow use of the compound for the purposes described herein (e.g., therapeutic or prophylactic administration to a subject).

The term “substituted” shall be deemed to include multiple degrees of substitution by a named substituent. Where multiple substituent moieties are disclosed or claimed, the substituted compound can be independently substituted by one or more of the disclosed or claimed substituent moieties, singly or plurally. By independently substituted, it is meant that the (two or more) substituents can be the same or different.

Unless expressly depicted or described otherwise, variables depicted in a structural formula with a “floating” bond, such as R¹ in Formula (I), are permitted on any available carbon atom in the ring to which the variable is attached. When a moiety is noted as being “optionally substituted” in Formula (I) or any embodiment thereof, it means that Formula (I) or the embodiment thereof encompasses compounds that contain the noted substituent (or substituents) on the moiety and also compounds that do not contain the noted substituent (or substituents) on the moiety.

Compounds of Formula (I) may contain one or more asymmetric centers and can thus occur as racemates and racemic mixtures, single enantiomers, diastereoisomeric mixtures and individual diastereoisomers. Centers of asymmetry that are present in the compounds of Formula (I) can all independently of one another have S configuration or R configuration. The compounds of this invention include all possible enantiomers and diastereomers and mixtures of two or more stereoisomers, for example mixtures of enantiomers and/or diastereomers, in all ratios. Thus, enantiomers are a subject of the invention in enantiomerically pure form, both as levorotatory and as dextrorotatory antipodes, in the form of racemates and in the form of mixtures of the two enantiomers in all ratios. In the case of a cis/trans isomerism the invention includes both the cis form and the trans form as well as mixtures of these forms in all ratios. The present invention is meant to comprehend all such stereoisomeric forms of the compounds of Formula (I). Where a structural formula or chemical name specifies a particular configuration at a stereocenter, the enantiomer or stereoisomer of the compound resulting from that specified stereocenter is intended. Where a structural formula of the compounds of Formula (I) indicates a straight line at a chiral center, the structural formula includes both the S and R stereoisomers associated with the chiral center and mixtures thereof.

Compounds of Formula (I) may be separated into their individual diastereoisomers by, for example, fractional crystallization from a suitable solvent, for example methanol or ethyl acetate or a mixture thereof, or via chiral chromatography using an optically active stationary phase. Absolute stereochemistry may be determined by X-ray crystallography of crystalline products or crystalline intermediates which are derivatized, if necessary, with a reagent containing an asymmetric center of known absolute configuration. Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) may also be used to determine the absolute stereochemistry. Alternatively, any stereoisomer or isomers of a compound of Formula (I) may be obtained by stereospecific synthesis using optically pure starting materials or reagents of known absolute configuration.

If desired, racemic mixtures of the compounds may be separated so that the individual enantiomers are isolated. The separation can be carried out by methods well known in the art, such as the coupling of a racemic mixture of compounds to an enantiomerically pure compound to form a diastereoisomeric mixture, followed by separation of the individual diastereoisomers by standard methods, such as fractional crystallization or chromatography. The coupling reaction is often the formation of salts using an enantiomerically pure acid or base. The diasteromeric derivatives may then be converted to the pure enantiomers by cleavage of the added chiral residue. The racemic mixture of the compounds can also be separated directly by chromatographic methods utilizing chiral stationary phases, which methods are well known in the art.

For compounds of Formula (I) described herein which contain olefinic double bonds, unless specified otherwise, they are meant to include both E and Z geometric isomers.

Some of the compounds described herein may exist as tautomers which have different points of attachment of hydrogen accompanied by one or more double bond shifts. For example, a ketone and its enol form are keto-enol tautomers. The individual tautomers as well as mixtures thereof are encompassed with compounds of Formulas I of the present invention.

In the compounds of Formula (I), the atoms may exhibit their natural isotopic abundances, or one or more of the atoms may be artificially enriched in a particular isotope having the same atomic number, but an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number predominately found in nature. The present invention as described and claimed herein is meant to include all suitable isotopic variations of the compounds of Formula (I) and embodiments thereof. For example, different isotopic forms of hydrogen (H) include protium (¹H) and deuterium (²H, also denoted herein as D). Protium is the predominant hydrogen isotope found in nature. Enriching for deuterium may afford certain therapeutic advantages, such as increasing in vivo half-life or reducing dosage requirements, or may provide a compound useful as a standard for characterization of biological samples. Isotopically-enriched compounds of Formula (I), can be prepared without undue experimentation by conventional techniques well known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the Schemes and Examples herein using appropriate isotopically-enriched reagents and/or intermediates.

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refers to salts prepared from pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic bases or acids. When the compound of the present invention is acidic, its corresponding salt can be conveniently prepared from pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic bases, including inorganic bases and organic bases. Salts derived from such inorganic bases include aluminum, ammonium, calcium, copper (ic and ous), ferric, ferrous, lithium, magnesium, manganese (ic and ous), potassium, sodium, zinc and the like salts. Preferred are the ammonium, calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium salts. Salts prepared from pharmaceutically acceptable organic non-toxic bases include salts of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines derived from both naturally occurring and synthetic sources. Pharmaceutically acceptable organic non-toxic bases from which salts can be formed include, for example, arginine, betaine, caffeine, choline, N,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine, diethylamine, 2-diethylaminoethanol, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, ethanolamine, ethylenediamine, N-ethyl-morpholine, N-ethylpiperidine, glucamine, glucosamine, histidine, hydrabamine, isopropylamine, dicyclohexylamine, lysine, methylglucamine, morpholine, piperazine, piperidine, polyamine resins, procaine, purines, theobromine, triethylamine, trimethylamine, tripropylamine, tromethamine and the like.

When the compound of the present invention is basic, its corresponding salt can be conveniently prepared from pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic inorganic and organic acids. Such acids include, for example, acetic, benzenesulfonic, benzoic, camphorsulfonic, citric, ethanesulfonic, fumaric, gluconic, glutamic, hydrobromic, hydrochloric, isethionic, lactic, maleic, malic, mandelic, methanesulfonic, mucic, nitric, pamoic, pantothenic, phosphoric, succinic, sulfuric, tartaric, p-toluenesulfonic acid and the like. Preferred are citric, hydrobromic, hydrochloric, maleic, phosphoric, sulfuric, and tartaric acids. If the compounds of Formula (I) simultaneously contain acidic and basic groups in the molecule the invention also includes, in addition to the salt forms mentioned, inner salts or betaines (zwitterions). Salts can be obtained from the compounds of Formula (I) by customary methods which are known to the person skilled in the art, for example, by combination with an organic or inorganic acid or base in a solvent or dispersant, or by anion exchange or cation exchange from other salts. The present invention also includes all salts of the compounds of Formula (I) which, owing to low physiological compatibility, are not directly suitable for use in pharmaceuticals but which can be used, for example, as intermediates for chemical reactions or for the preparation of pharmaceutically acceptable salts.

Furthermore, compounds of the present invention may exist in amorphous form and/or one or more crystalline forms, and as such all amorphous and crystalline forms and mixtures thereof of the compounds of Formula (I), including the Examples, are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention. In addition, some of the compounds of the instant invention may form solvates with water (i.e., a hydrate) or common organic solvents such as but not limited to ethyl acetate. Such solvates and hydrates, particularly the pharmaceutically acceptable solvates and hydrates, of the instant compounds are likewise encompassed within the scope of this invention, along with un-solvated and anhydrous forms.

Any pharmaceutically acceptable pro-drug modification of a compound of this invention which results in conversion in vivo to a compound within the scope of this invention is also within the scope of this invention. For example, esters can optionally be made by esterification of an available carboxylic acid (—COOH) group or by formation of an ester on an available hydroxy group in a compound. Similarly, labile amides can be made. Pharmaceutically acceptable esters or amides of the compounds of this invention may be prepared to act as pro-drugs which can be hydrolyzed back to an acid (or —COO— depending on the pH of the fluid or tissue where conversion takes place) or hydroxy form particularly in vivo and as such are encompassed within the scope of this invention. Included are those esters and acyl groups known in the art for modifying the solubility or hydrolysis characteristics for use as sustained-release or prodrug formulations. Also, in the case of a carboxylic acid (—COOH) or alcohol group being present in the compounds of the present invention, pharmaceutically acceptable esters of carboxylic acid derivatives, such as methyl, ethyl, or pivaloyloxymethyl, or acyl derivatives of alcohols, such as O-acetyl, O-pivaloyl, O-benzoyl, and O-aminoacyl, can be employed.

The present invention also relates to processes for the preparation of the compounds of Formula (I) which are described in the following and by which the compounds of the invention are obtainable.

The compounds of Formula (I) according to the invention effect an increase of cGMP concentration via the activation of the soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), and they therefore may be useful agents for the therapy and prophylaxis of disorders which are associated with a low or decreased cGMP level or which are caused thereby, or for whose therapy or prophylaxis an increase of the present cGMP level is desired. The activation of the sGC by the compounds of Formula (I) can be examined, for example, in the cell-based sGC functional assay described in the Biological Assays below.

The compounds of Formula (I) bind with high potency to sGC. High potency compounds are preferred to enable administration of low human doses. For inhaled delivery applications, high potency compounds may enable use of low human doses, and allow for formulation within the restraints of an inhaled delivery device.

The binding potencies of the compounds of Formula (I) can be determined in a competitive binding assay that uses a labeled sGC ligand. The Biological Assays section below describes an example of a competitive binding assay used to determine the compounds' abilities to displace a radioligand that binds to purified recombinant sGC.

The activity of the compounds in vivo can be assessed in various animal models of hypertension, such as by measuring their acute efficacy in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). In addition, the activity of the compounds can be assessed by measuring the pulmonary and systolic blood pressure in a hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension rat model following intratracheal administration of sGC stimulator compounds. In one embodiment, preferred compounds of the Formula (I) achieve a minimum decrease in pulmonary arterial pressure of ≥15 mmHg for the corresponding smaller decrease in systolic blood pressure in the hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension rat model. For instance, in one embodiment, preferred compounds of the Formula (I) achieve a minimum decrease in pulmonary arterial pressure of ≥15 mmHg for the corresponding decrease in systolic blood pressure, which decrease is ≤10 mmHg in this assay. The Biological Assays section below describes these in vivo models of hypertension.

The terms “therapeutically effective (or efficacious) amount” and similar descriptions such as “an amount efficacious for treatment” are intended to mean that amount of a pharmaceutical drug that will elicit the biological or medical response of a tissue, a system, animal or human that is being sought by a researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinician. In a preferred embodiment, the term “therapeutically effective amount” means an amount of a pharmaceutical drug that alleviates at least one clinical symptom in a human patient. The terms “prophylactically effective (or efficacious) amount” and similar descriptions such as “an amount efficacious for prevention” are intended to mean that amount of a pharmaceutical drug that will prevent or reduce the risk of occurrence of the biological or medical event that is sought to be prevented in a tissue, a system, animal or human by a researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinician. As an example, the dosage a patient receives can be selected so as to achieve the desired reduction in blood pressure; the dosage a patient receives may also be titrated over time in order to reach a target blood pressure. The dosage regimen utilizing a compound of the instant invention is selected in accordance with a variety of factors including type, species, age, weight, sex and medical condition of the patient; the severity of the condition to be treated; the potency of the compound chosen to be administered; the route of administration; and the renal and hepatic function of the patient. A consideration of these factors is well within the purview of the ordinarily skilled clinician for the purpose of determining the therapeutically effective or prophylactically effective dosage amount needed to prevent, counter, or arrest the progress of the condition. It is understood that a specific daily dosage amount can simultaneously be both a therapeutically effective amount, e.g., for treatment of hypertension, and a prophylactically effective amount, e.g., for prevention of myocardial infarction.

Disorders and pathological conditions which are associated with a low cGMP level or in which an increase of the cGMP level is desired and for whose therapy and prophylaxis it is possible to use compounds of Formula (I) are, for example, cardiovascular diseases, such as endothelial dysfunction, diastolic dysfunction, atherosclerosis, hypertension, heart failure, pulmonary hypertension (WHO Groups 1-5), which includes pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), stable and unstable angina pectoris, thromboses, restenoses, myocardial infarction, strokes, cardiac insufficiency, fibrosis or pulmonary hypertonia, or, for example, erectile dysfunction, asthma (e.g., bronchial asthma), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), acute lung injury, pulmonary fibrosis, chronic kidney disease, chronic kidney insufficiency, cystic fibrosis, interstitial lung disease, sickle cell anemia, scleroderma, Raynaud's Syndrome, and diabetes. Compounds of Formula (I) can additionally be used in the therapy of cirrhosis of the liver and also for improving a restricted memory performance or ability to learn.

In one embodiment of the invention, the compounds of Formula (I) may be used for treating cardiovascular disease, endothelial dysfunction, diastolic dysfunction, atherosclerosis, hypertension, heart failure, pulmonary hypertension (WHO groups I, II, III, IV), angina pectoris, thrombosis, restenosis, myocardial infarction, stroke, cardiac insufficiency, fibrosis, pulmonary hypertonia, erectile dysfunction, asthma, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, diabetic retinopathy, cirrhosis of the liver, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), acute respiratory distress syndrome, acute lung injury, pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, or interstitial lung disease.

The compounds of Formula (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be administered to animals, preferably to mammals, and in particular to humans, as pharmaceuticals by themselves, in mixtures with one another or in the form of pharmaceutical compositions. The term “patient” includes animals, preferably mammals and especially humans, who use the instant active agents for the prevention or treatment of a medical condition. Administering of the drug to the patient includes both self-administration and administration to the patient by another person. The patient may be in need of, or desire, treatment for an existing disease or medical condition, or may be in need of or desire prophylactic treatment to prevent or reduce the risk of occurrence of said disease or medical condition. As used herein, a patient “in need” of treatment of an existing condition or of prophylactic treatment encompasses both a determination of need by a medical professional as well as the desire of a patient for such treatment.

Subjects of the present invention therefore also are the compounds of Formula (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts for use as pharmaceuticals, their use for activating soluble guanylate cyclase, for normalizing a disturbed cGMP balance and in particular their use in the therapy and prophylaxis of the above mentioned syndromes as well as their use for preparing medicaments for these purposes.

Furthermore, a subject of the present invention is pharmaceutical compositions which comprise as active component an effective dose of at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a customary pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, i.e., one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carrier substances and/or additives.

Thus, a subject of the invention is, for example, said compound and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts for use as a pharmaceutical, pharmaceutical compositions which comprise as active component an effective dose of the compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a customary pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and the uses of said compound and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in the therapy or prophylaxis of the abovementioned syndromes as well as their use for preparing medicaments for these purposes.

The pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention can be administered orally, for example in the form of pills, tablets, lacquered tablets, sugar-coated tablets, granules, hard and soft gelatin capsules, aqueous, alcoholic or oily solutions, syrups, emulsions or suspensions, or rectally, for example in the form of suppositories. Administration can also be carried out parenterally, for example subcutaneously, intramuscularly or intravenously in the form of solutions for injection or infusion.

The pharmaceutical compositions can also be administered by the inhaled route. Dosage forms for inhaled administration may conveniently be formulated as aerosols or dry powders. For compositions suitable and/or adapted for inhaled administration, it is preferred that the compound of Formula (I) is in a particle-size-reduced form, and more preferably the size-reduced form is obtained or obtainable by micronisation.

Aerosol formulations, e.g., for inhaled administration, can comprise a solution or fine suspension of the active substance in a pharmaceutically acceptable aqueous or non-aqueous solvent. Aerosol formulations can be presented in single or multidose quantities in sterile form in a sealed container, which can take the form of a cartridge or refill for use with an atomising device or inhaler. Alternatively the sealed container may be a unitary dispensing device such as a single dose nasal inhaler or an aerosol dispenser fitted with a metering valve (metered dose inhaler) which is intended for disposal once the contents of the container have been exhausted.

Where the dosage form comprises an aerosol dispenser, it preferably contains a suitable propellant under pressure such as compressed air, carbon dioxide or an organic propellant such as a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC). Suitable HFC propellants include 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane. The aerosol dosage forms can also take the form of a pump-atomiser. The pressurised aerosol may contain a solution or a suspension of the active compound. This may require the incorporation of additional excipients e.g., co-solvents and/or surfactants to improve the dispersion characteristics and homogeneity of suspension formulations. Solution formulations may also require the addition of co-solvents such as ethanol. Other excipient modifiers may also be incorporated to improve, for example, the stability and/or taste and/or fine particle mass characteristics (amount and/or profile) of the formulation.

Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for inhaled administration may also take the form of a dry powder inhalable composition. Such a composition can comprise a powder base such as lactose, glucose, trehalose, mannitol or starch, the compound of Formula (I) (preferably in particle-size-reduced form, e.g., in micronised form), and optionally a performance modifier such as L-leucine or another amino acid, and/or metals salts of stearic acid such as magnesium or calcium stearate. In some embodiments, the dry powder inhalable composition comprises a dry powder blend of lactose and the compound of Formula (I) or salt thereof.

Optionally, in particular for dry powder inhalable compositions, a pharmaceutical composition for inhaled administration can be incorporated into a plurality of sealed dose containers (e.g., containing the dry powder composition) mounted longitudinally in a strip or ribbon inside a suitable inhalation device. The container is rupturable or peel-openable on demand and the dose of e.g., the dry powder composition can be administered by inhalation via the device such as the DISKUS® device (GlaxoSmithKline). Other dry powder inhalers are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art, and many such devices are commercially available, with representative devices including Aerolizer® (Novartis), Airmax™ (IVAX), ClickHaler® (Innovata Biomed), Diskhaler® (GlaxoSmithKline), Accuhaler (GlaxoSmithKline), Easyhaler® (Orion Pharma), Eclipse™ (Aventis), FlowCaps® (Hovione), Handihaler® (Boehringer Ingelheim), Pulvinal® (Chiesi), Rotahaler® (GlaxoSmithKline), SkyeHaler™ or Certihaler™ (SkyePharma), Twisthaler (Merck & Co., Inc.), Turbuhaler® (AstraZeneca), Ultrahaler® (Aventis), and the like.

Other suitable administration forms are, for example, percutaneous or topical administration, for example in the form of ointments, tinctures, sprays or transdermal therapeutic systems, or, for example, microcapsules, implants or rods. The preferred administration form depends, for example, on the disease to be treated and on its severity.

The amount of active compound of Formula (I) and/or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts in the pharmaceutical composition normally is from 0.01 to 200 mg, such as from 0.1 to 200 mg, preferably from 1 to 200 mg, per dose, but depending on the type of the pharmaceutical composition it can also be higher. In some embodiments, the amount of active compound of Formula (I) and/or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts in the pharmaceutical composition is from 0.01 to 10 mg per dose. The pharmaceutical compositions usually comprise 0.5 to 90 percent by weight of the compound of Formula (I) and/or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The preparation of the pharmaceutical compositions can be carried out in a manner known per se. For this purpose, one or more compounds of Formula (I) and/or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, together with one or more solid or liquid pharmaceutical carrier substances and/or additives (or auxiliary substances) and, if desired, in combination with other pharmaceutically active compounds having therapeutic or prophylactic action, are brought into a suitable administration form or dosage form which can then be used as a pharmaceutical in human or veterinary medicine.

For the production of pills, tablets, sugar-coated tablets and hard gelatin capsules, it is possible to use, for example, lactose, starch, for example maize starch, or starch derivatives, talc, stearic acid or its salts, etc. Carriers for soft gelatin capsules and suppositories are, for example, fats, waxes, semisolid and liquid polyols, natural or hardened oils, etc. Suitable carriers for the preparation of solutions, for example of solutions for injection, or of emulsions or syrups are, for example, water, physiologically acceptable sodium chloride solution, alcohols such as ethanol, glycerol, polyols, sucrose, invert sugar, glucose, mannitol, vegetable oils, etc. It is also possible to lyophilize the compounds of Formula (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts and to use the resulting lyophilisates, for example, for preparing preparations for injection or infusion. Suitable carriers for microcapsules, implants or rods are, for example, copolymers of glycolic acid and lactic acid.

Besides the active compounds and carriers, the pharmaceutical compositions can also contain customary additives, for example fillers, disintegrants, binders, lubricants, wetting agents, stabilizers, emulsifiers, dispersants, preservatives, sweeteners, colorants, flavorings, aromatizers, thickeners, diluents, buffer substances, solvents, solubilizers, agents for achieving a depot effect, salts for altering the osmotic pressure, coating agents or antioxidants.

The dosage of the active compound of Formula (I) and/or of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to be administered depends on the individual case and is, as is customary, to be adapted to the individual circumstances to achieve an optimum effect. Thus, it depends on the nature and the severity of the disorder to be treated, and also on the sex, age, weight and individual responsiveness of the human or animal to be treated, on the efficacy and duration of action of the compounds used, on whether the therapy is acute or chronic or prophylactic, or on whether other active compounds are administered in addition to compounds of Formula (I). In general, a daily dose of approximately 0.0001 to 100 mg/kg, in particular, 0.0001 to 0.30 mg/kg or 0.01 to 0.03 mg/kg (in each case mg per kg of bodyweight) is appropriate for administration to an adult weighing approximately 75 kg in order to obtain the desired results. The daily dose can be administered in a single dose or, in particular when larger amounts are administered, be divided into several, for example two, three or four individual doses. In some cases, depending on the individual response, it may be necessary to deviate upwards or downwards from the given daily dose. A single daily dose is preferred.

The compounds of Formula (I) activate soluble guanylate cyclase. Due to this property, apart from use as pharmaceutically active compounds in human medicine and veterinary medicine, they can also be employed as a scientific tool or as an aid for biochemical investigations in which such an effect on soluble guanylate cyclase is intended, and also for diagnostic purposes, for example in the in vitro diagnosis of cell samples or tissue samples. The compounds of Formula (I) and salts thereof can furthermore be employed, as already mentioned above, as intermediates for the preparation of other pharmaceutically active compounds.

The following examples are provided so that the invention might be more fully understood. Unless otherwise indicated, the starting materials are commercially available. They should not be construed as limiting the invention in any way.

Several methods for preparing the compounds of this invention are described in the following Schemes and Examples. Starting materials and intermediates are purchased, made from known procedures, or as otherwise illustrated. Some frequently applied routes to the compounds of Formula (I) are also described by the Schemes as follows. In some cases the order of carrying out the steps of reaction schemes may be varied to facilitate the reaction or to avoid unwanted reaction products. The “R” and “X” groups in the Schemes correspond to the variables defined in Formula (I) at the same positions on the structures.

Scheme 1 outlines the general approach to assembling compounds of type S-1d. Starting with an amidine S-1a and coupling with either malononitrile S-1b or lactam S-1c, in the presence of either an inorganic base (e.g., KHCO₃) or amine base (e.g., NEt₃) respectively, affords pyrimidine containing substrates S-1d.

Malononitrile type coupling partners can be assembled as outlined in Scheme 2, lines A and B. Intermediate S-2a can either be purchased (R⁴=Me), or can be generated in one-step from diethyl oxalate through treatment with a Grignard reagent or other organometallic reagents. Condensation of malononitrile with intermediate S-2a, analogous to literature conditions (Hagiwara et. al. Synthesis 1974, 9, 669) affords intermediate S-2b. Subsequent 1,4-addition with a Grignard reagent or lithiate in a solvent such as THF at room temperature to −78° C. affords functionalized malononitrile S-1b. An alternate approach to derivatized malononitriles, in which the R⁴ group is introduced later, is outlined in line B. Starting with a di-alkyl oxalate, condensation with malononitrile analogous to conditions described in the literature (Sentman et. al. J. Org. Chem. 1982, 47, 4577) affords intermediate S-2d. Subsequent treatment with an Grignard reagent affords intermediate S-2e, analogous to intermediate S-1b when R³=CO₂R¹⁰.

An alternative method for assembling malononitrile type reagents is outlined below in Scheme 3. Functionalized esters S-3a can either be purchased or assembled via copper catalyzed cross-coupling reactions followed by decarboxylation as outlined in line B of Scheme 3. S-3a may also be prepared from the corresponding carboxylic acid by treatment with trimethylsilyl diazomethane or methanol with catalytic sulfuric acid. S-3a may be prepared by the alpha arylation/heteroarylation of esters as described by Buchwald, S. L. et al Organic Letters 2009, 11(8), 1773; or by Shen, H. C. et al Organic Letters 2006, 8(7), 1447. Additional functionalization of S-3a via alkylation in the presence of a base such as LiHMDS, NaHMDS, NaH or LDA in a solvent such as THF or DMF affords intermediate S-3b. The compound S-3c is prepared by treating compound S-3b with a brominating reagent such as NBS and AIBN in a solvent such as carbon tetrachloride at refluxing temperatures. Alternatively, the compound S-3c may be prepared by reaction with NBS and magnesium perchlorate in acetonitrile solvent at room temperature as described by Yang, D. et al Journal of Organic Chemistry 2002, 67(21), 7429. Compound S-3c may also be prepared by treating compound S-3b with a base such as sodium hydride followed by treatment with NBS. Compound S-1b is obtained from S-3c by reaction with malononitrile and a base such as sodium hydride, t-BuOK, K₂CO₃ or DBU in a solvent such as THF or DMF at ambient temperature to elevated temperatures.

Malononitriles of type S-1b can be cyclized in the presence of alkoxide type bases such as sodium methoxide in methanol or sodium ethoxide in ethanol to form lactams S-1c as shown in Scheme 4. Additionally, functionalized alkyne containing malononitrile S-4a can undergo 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with functionalized carbon-linked azides in the presence of a copper reagent to afford 1,2,3-triazoles S-4b.

Heterocycles of type S-5e and S-5h can be generated as outlined in Scheme 5, lines A and B. S-5e can be prepared as outlined in line A starting from commercially available ethyl 2-cyanopropanoate S-5a, in which treatment with chlorotrimethyl silane in water affords amide S-5b. Subsequent cyclization with a functionalized α-bromoketone reagent such as S-5c in the presence of silver triflate leads to S-5d. From here, bromination with NBS and LiHMDS, followed by treatment with malononitrile, affords target substrates such as S-5e. S-5h can be accessed as outlined in line B, starting from commercially available thioamide S-5f. Treatment with α-bromoketones such as S-5c, followed by bromination with KBr and hydrogen peroxide and followed lastly by treatment with malononitrile affords substrates of type S-5h.

The general approach to amidines S-1a is outlined in Scheme 6 below. Starting with generic type 2-fluorobenzaldehyde S-6a, condensation with hydrazine while heating in a solvent such as DMA affords the indazole S-6b. Subsequent iodination with an iodination reagent such as NIS in a solvent such as DCM or DMA, followed by palladium catalyzed cross coupling with zinc cyanide using a catalyst such as Pd₂(dba)₃ and DPPF in a solvent such as DMA affords the nitrile intermediate S-6d. Alkylation of the indazole with bromo or iodo halide using a base such as cesium carbonate, sodium hydride or K₂CO₃ in a solvent such as DMF, DMA or acetonitrile at ambient temperature to 100° C. gives S-6e. Conversion of the nitrile to amidines of type S-1a can be accomplished with a reagent such as amino(chloro)methylaluminum, prepared from trimethylaluminum and ammonium chloride, in a non-polar solvent such as toluene while heating as described by Garigipati, R. S. et al. Tetrahedron Letters 1990, 31(14), 1969. Alternative conditions utilize sodium methoxide followed by treatment with ammonium chloride in the presence of acetic acid.

As described in Scheme 7, aza-indazole substrates S-7a can be further functionalized by oxidation of the pyridine with mCPBA in acetic acid solvent to afford the N-oxide, followed by treatment with POCl₃ to afford the alpha-chloro substituted intermediate S-7c that can be subsequently converted to amidine S-7d.

Some common routes for final compound synthesis are outlined in the Schemes 8, 9 and 10 below. One approach as generically outlined in Scheme 8, is coupling of functionalized malononitrile S-8c or lactam S-8b with amidines to afford intermediates of type S-8d bearing an ester. Amidine coupling with malonontrile reagents of type S-8c, typically are performed in an alcohol solvent such as tBuOH at RT to 80° C. and utilize a base such as KHCO₃, though reactions can also be run in the absence of base. Amidine couplings with activated lactam structures such as S-8b are typically ran in solvents such as THF at room temperature to 80° C. with an alkyl amine base such as Et₃N. Subsequent hydrolysis with a base such as lithium hydroxide in a solvent mixture containing a polar organic solvent such as dioxane or acetonitrile in combination with water affords final products S-8e. Chiral resolution of enantiomers can occur at any of the stages up to and including post hydrolysis formation of S-8e. This resolution includes chiral resolution of functionalized malonitriles S-8c or lactams S-8b or post condensation with amidines at the ester intermediate S-8d or post hydrolysis resolution of acid S-8e.

Another method for the synthesis of functionalized acids linked to thiazoles is outlined in Scheme 9. Starting from either chiral or racemic S-9a (assembled as generally outlined in Scheme 1), conversion to the amide with ammonia in methanol, followed by treatment with Lawesson's reagent in toluene at elevated temperatures affords thioamide intermediate S-9b. Coupling with bromo-functionalized β-keto esters in an alcohol such as ethanol at elevated temperatures followed by hydrolysis affords acid S-9c. In addition to generating chiral S-9a through use of chiral reagents of type S-1c or resolution of ester S-9a, chiral resolution can occur at thioamide S-9b or the subsequent ester or acid S-9c.

Additionally, compounds of type S-10b can be formed from the more active single enantiomers of type S-8e (general synthesis outlined in Scheme 8) using common coupling reagents such as O-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate to couple with amino-esters. The ester intermediate S-10a can then be hydrolyzed to provide S-10b.

Compounds of type S-11b can be formed from type S-8e (general synthesis outlined in Scheme 8). The nitrile compounds type S-11a can be formed by conversion of the carboxylic acid to the corresponding amide using reagent such as Boc anhydride and TFA, followed by dehydration of the amide to form the nitrile with reagents such as trifluoroacetic anhydride. Treatment of compounds of type S-1a with sodium azide or TMS-azide provides tetrazole compounds type S-11b.

Compounds of the present invention possess an asymmetric center at the carbon bearing the R³ and R⁴ substituents which can be either R or S configuration. These enantiomeric mixtures may be separated or resolved to single enantiomers using chiral SFC chromatography. Racemic material can be resolved to enantiomerically pure compounds at the final step, or one of the earlier steps in the route as outlined in Schemes 8, 9 and 10. For example, intermediates S-1b and S-1c can undergo chiral resolution to afford enantiopure isomers that may be carried on in the coupling with amidines to enantiomerically pure compounds. Alternatively, enantiomeric resolution can be performed post formation of general intermediate S-1d. For example, chiral resolution of intermediates of the type S-8d, S-9b, or S-10a to single enantiomers may be further elaborated to enantiopure compounds or may be resolved at final compounds of type S-8e, S-9c, S-10b. Unless otherwise noted, the examples in the present invention are enantiomerically pure isomers (R or S). Biochemical assay data is listed for the more active enantiomer if only one of the enantiomers is active.

The independent synthesis of diastereomers and enantiomers or their chromatographic separations may be achieved using methods familiar to those skilled in the art and by appropriate modification of the methodology disclosed herein. Their absolute stereochemistry may be determined by X-ray crystallography of crystalline products or crystalline intermediates which are derivatized, if necessary, with a reagent containing an asymmetric center of known absolute stereochemistry, or by vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy.

When line-listed, NMR data are in the form of delta values for major diagnostic protons, given in parts per million (ppm) relative to residual solvent peaks (multiplicity and number of hydrogens). Conventional abbreviations used for signal shape are: s. singlet; d. doublet (apparent); t. triplet (apparent); m. multiplet; br. broad; etc. MS data were recorded on a Waters Micromass or WatersZQ unit, interfaced with a Hewlett-Packard (AGILENT 1100) HPLC instrument, and operating on MASSLYNX/OpenLynx software.

The following are representative procedures for the preparation of intermediates used to prepare the final products described in the Examples that follow thereafter. These examples are provided for the purpose of further illustration only and are not intended to be limitations on the disclosed invention.

It is understood that a chiral center in a compound may exist in the “S” or “R” stereo-configurations, or as a mixture of both. In some of the examples for intermediate compounds and final compounds, such compounds having a racemic chiral center were separated into individual stereoisomers, for example, referred to as isomer A (or enantiomer A or the like), which refers to the observed faster eluting isomer, and isomer B (or enantiomer B or the like), which refers to the observed slower eluting isomer, and each such isomer may be noted in the example as either the fast or slow eluting isomer. When a single “A” or “B” isomer intermediate is used to prepare a downstream compound, the downstream compound may take the “A” or “B” designation that corresponds to the previously used intermediate.

Any intermediates described below may be referred to herein by their number preceded by “I-.” For illustration, the racemic parent title compound would be referred to as Intermediate 37 (I-37, or rac I-37), and the separated stereoisomers are noted as Intermediates 37A and 37B (or I-37A and I-37B). In some examples, compounds having a chiral center were derived synthetically from a single isomer intermediate; e.g., Example 13B—was made using stereoisomer I-11B. In some cases intermediates or examples contain more than one chiral center. In such cases, the separation of isomers may require more than one chiral separation. In such cases, the intermediate or example number can be followed by 2 letters (e.g. I-38AB or Ex-5BA). For these intermediates and examples, the first letter represents the A or B isomer from the first separation and the second letter represents the A or B isomer from the second separation. Absolute stereochemistry of separate stereoisomers in the Examples and Intermediates was not determined unless stated otherwise in an Example or Intermediate synthesis. An asterisk (*) may be used in a chemical structure drawing that indicates the location of a chiral center.

Biological Assays:

Cell-based sGC Functional Assay (Cyclic GMP Assay for sGC Activator: CASA Assay)

Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) is a heme-containing enzyme that converts GTP to secondary messenger cGMP. Increases in cGMP levels affect several physiological processes including vasorelaxation through multiple downstream pathways. The rate by which sGC catalyzes cGMP formation is greatly increased by NO and by recently discovered NO-independent activators and stimulators. Heme-dependent activators (HDAs) preferentially activate sGC containing a ferrous heme group. To determine the effect of sGC activators on enzyme activity, the CASA assay was developed to monitor the generation of cGMP in a cell line that stably expresses the heterodimeric sGC protein.

Methods: A CHO-K1 cell line stably expressing the sGC α1/β1 heterodimer was generated using a standard transfection protocol. CHO-K1 cells were transfected with plasmids pIREShyghsGCα1 and pIRESneo-hsGCβ1 simultaneously using FUGENE reagent. Clones that stably express both subunits were selected with hygromycin and neomycin for ˜2 weeks. Clone #7 was chosen for the assay and was designated CHO-K1/sGC. CHO-K1/sGC cells were maintained in F-K12 medium containing 10% heat-inactivated Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), 100 μg/mL penicillin/streptomycin, 0.5 mg/mL hygromycin and 0.25 mg/mL G418. The cells were then cryopreserved in LN2. On the day of the assay, the cells were thawed and resuspended in EBSS Assay Buffer (Sigma, E3024) supplemented with 5 mM MgCl₂, 10 mM HEPES (4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-1-ethanesulfonic acid) and 0.05% BSA (bovine serum albumin) (EAB) and cell density was then adjusted to 2.25×105/mL with EAB. IBMX (3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthin, 0.5 mM) was added to inhibit degradation of cGMP. Compounds were diluted from DMSO stock solutions and added to the assay at a final DMSO concentration of 2.5%. Cells were pre-incubated in the presence and absence of 1 μM of Diethylenetriamine/nitric oxide adduct (DETA-NO; Sigma, 17018) for 30 min at 25° C. Compounds are subsequently added and incubated for 1 hr at 37° C. At the end of the incubation period, the reaction was terminated and the cells were lysed with the detection reagents from Cisbio Kits. The level of intracellular cGMP was determined using an HTRF-based assay kit (CisBio, 62GM2PEC), which detects the displacement of a fluorescence labeled cGMP from its specific antibody. The cGMP produced by test compounds was directly compared to the maximum cGMP production (this value was set to equal 100% activation.) of the published sGC-HDA compound A:

(Example 1 in WO 2010/065275, published Jun. 10, 2010). The test compounds' activity were then expressed as a percentage of compound A, the standard in every experiment. This percent activation was calculated either in the presence or absence of DETA-NO which was then plotted. Inflection points (IP) and maximum fold induction was derived using Abase analysis software for 4P fit.

[³H] Ex-77B was prepared using a standardized tritium exchange procedure. The parent (non-labeled) molecule was first iodinated then a Pd-catalyzed iodine to tritium exchange provided the labeled compound.

Method: The binding buffer was composed of 50 mM triethanolamine, pH 7.4, 3 mM MgCl₂, 0.025% BSA, 2 mM dithiothreitol (DTT), 300 μM DETA/NO and 400 μM GTP. Assays were conducted in 96-well plates in a total volume of 200 μL. Recombinant human sGC protein (40 ng) was incubated with 1.6 nM [³H] Ex-77B for 24 hours at 37° C. in the presence and absence of various concentrations of sGC testing compounds delivered as DMSO solutions to give a total of 1% organic solvent content. Non-specific binding was defined by competition with 1 μM of Ex-77B. After the incubation period, the binding mixtures were loaded onto the gel-filtration plate (ThermoFischer Cat. No. 89808) pre-equilibrated with binding buffer and spun at 1000×g for 3 min at 4° C. on a Bench top centrifuge. The collected eluates in White Frame Clear Well Isoplates (Perkin Elmer Cat #6005040) received 100 μl of UltimaGold scintillation cocktail. The sealed plates were shaken vigorously and span, and counted after 6 hours with a Wallac Microbeta TriLux 1450 LSC & Luminescence Counter (Perkin Elmer). Data from competition experiments were analyzed to determine K_(i) values using one site—fit K_(i) equation.

Most preferred compounds had an Ki of less than or equal to about 1 nM. Data for the compounds of the Examples is provided in Table 23.

Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR, male, Charles River) were implanted with DSI TA11PA-C40 telemetry device (Data Sciences, Inc., St. Paul, Minn.) under isoflurane or ketamine/metomidine anesthesia. The telemetry unit catheter was inserted into the descending aorta via the femoral artery and the telemetry device was implanted subcutaneously in the left flank area. Animals were allowed to recover from surgery for 14 days before the start of any studies. Blood pressure, heart rate, and activity signals from conscious, freely moving rats were recorded continuously for 30 seconds every 10 minutes. On the day prior to administration of compound, a single oral dose of vehicle (10% transcutol/20% Cremophor/70% water) was administered to all animals to establish baseline control data. The blood pressure lowering efficacy of compound (PO) or vehicle was evaluated following a single oral gavage. Data were collected as hourly averages, and changes in blood pressure were calculated by subtracting control baseline data on an hourly basis. Animals were maintained on normal diet with a 12 hour light-dark cycle.

Maximum peak decreases of systolic blood pressure (SBP) in SHR at a particular P.O. dose (mpk milligrams per kilogram) for the following Example compounds are provided.

-   Category A=decrease in SBP in SHRs 5-25 mmHg; -   Category B=decrease in SBP in SHRs 25-40 mmHg; -   Category C=decrease in SBP in SHRs >40 mmHg.

Charles River Sprague-Dawley (CD) male rats weighing approximately 350 g were implanted with HD-S21 dual pressure telemetry transmitters (Data Sciences International (DSI)) into the pulmonary artery and femoral artery. This transmitter enables simultaneous measurement of both pulmonary and systemic hemodynamic parameters in the same animal. After a 7-10 day post-operative recovery period, animals were subjected to a normobaric hypoxic (10% oxygen) environment using a Higher Peak Mountain Air Generator (MAG-10) connected to a modified rodent cage via a fitted inlet port. Oxygen (at 10%), temperature, humidity, and CO₂ were controlled within normal range and animals were maintained on a 12 hour light-dark cycle with ad libitum access to food and water. After two weeks exposure to 10% O₂ hypoxic environment, systolic pulmonary arterial pressure readings increased from ˜25 mmHg to greater than 50 mmHg. Using a 48 hour baseline average, animals with readings between 50-110 mmHg (standard deviation of less than 10 mmHg) and minimal changes in systolic systemic blood pressure were enrolled for study. Animals were utilized for up to 2 studies per week for 4 weeks with a minimum of 2 days washout between doses of test agent.

Compound or vehicle was administered intra-tracheally under light isoflurane anesthesia (5% in oxygen; flow rate 2.0 L/min for 3 minutes). Once anesthetized, rats were placed on an angled intubation stand in supine position and the trachea visualized using a small laryngoscope. Animals then received either 0.5 mL/kg of vehicle or 0.5 mL/kg vehicle containing compound intra-tracheally delivered via microsprayer by use of a Penn-Century Microsprayer® needle 3″ (Model IA-1B-GP) attached to a 1 mL high pressure syringe (Penn Century-Model B-SYR-PL1000) (Penn-Century, Philadelphia, Pa.). The Microsprayer® tip was inserted into the trachea up to the point at which the bend in the needle is close to the tip of the snout, which positions the tip of the Microsprayer® in front of the carina (bifurcation of trachea at the bronchi). After dose delivery the animal is placed on its back in the home cage for recovery.

Hemodynamic measurements were continuously recorded and readings consolidated to hourly moving averages. Each animal received a vehicle on Day 1 followed by vehicle or test agent on Day 2. Change from vehicle baseline was calculated by subtracting the hourly Day 1 vehicle response from the hourly Day 2 response and treatment group data was expressed as mean±SEM.

Decreases of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) were measured at a particular IT dose (mpk milligrams per kilogram) for the following Example compounds. Compounds in the Table 25 achieved a minimum decrease in PAP of ≥15 mmHg for the corresponding decrease in SBP listed.

-   Category A=decrease in SBP 0-5 mmHg; -   Category B=decrease in SBP 5-10 mmHg; -   Category C=decrease in SBP >10 mmHg.
